Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

September 2012

  • Family

    We’ve spent the last four weekends with different clans of the family.  While I”m looking forward to my days off this week because I have absolutely no plans and expect to keep it that way, spending quality time with everyone has made it about the best month ever!  Dianne was back this weekend to visit Read more

  • Rutting Season

    This is going to be the weekend for beautiful trees in Iowa especially in my “neck of the woods”….whatever that means…one of our TV weathermen says that nearly every night…I wait for it…wait for it…wait for it. Seriously..”they” tell us that trees are not going to be golden this year because of the lack of Read more

  • Morning thoughts…..

    In the last few months, I’ve “gotten back” my ability to read again…I could read…I just wasn’t reading books very often…I found an old Belva Plain book at my mother-in-laws house that I’ve been reading this week.  This is the first Belva book  I’ve read since Evergreen back in the early 80’s.  I just couldn’t Read more

  • No craziness in this princess!!

    Dr Reed gave me a prescription for xanax at my last visit due to my anxiety issues…She is a stickler on not taking them unless it is absolutely necessary…she gave me a little “talk” about it – I’m sure she’s worried about a dependency issue although I’m not sure it is an addictive drug…I”m not Read more

  • Now I can say

    I’ve Bean!  to the Bean in Chicago..  What a blast.  While there, I tried to figure how, Why and How?  There seemed to be a lot of people there who had like mind! Millennium Park is an Oasis in the big city.  I wish I could say I was impressed with the face-fountain-stream – whatever Read more

  • Random

    Has it every occurred to you to call the police because a utilities repairman was rude to you? I had a Cold Stone Creamery medium cookie dough ice cream extravaganza in a waffle cone for supper last night. I’m perplexed at why higher end clothing seems to be made larger than lower end clothing.  I”m Read more

  • It is complicated..or is it?

    Things are different…not different in a bad way…just different.  My life is kind of like the weather in Iowa…wait 5 minutes and it will change.  I have learned so much about life in the last few years.  Things about minding my own business, not judging someone else’s actions, truly believing that everyone has a right Read more

  • I really need to back away from politics for awhile…I had a dream last night (seemed like I had it all night) that President Obama and his wife came to Iowa, stayed with us (in a house that I’ve never seen), we rode in the limo to a fund raiser…he and I had inside jokes Read more

  • Abortion

    Thanks to a Facebook acquaintance, I paused last night to soak in a private message he sent me on Facebook.  One thing that really grabbed my attention was the respectful way he approached me – not plastering hateful rhetoric on my Facebook – instead he sent me a private message two liner question.  He didn’t Read more
